Chapter 27: You're Not Liu Qian! Bai Xuan, Little Brother~
????"So powerful—!"
??Bai Yu could only stare, stunned, as the armored woman swept her sword and obliterated tens of thousands of zombies in a single stroke. If only she possessed such strength herself... maybe then she could truly protect—
??"Hiss... that hurts!"
??The psychic tremor faded, and Li Hongyou's senses returned.
??"Are you all right?" Bai Yu asked, worry etched in her voice.
??"It's nothing serious..." Li Hongyou replied, already scanning the battlefield.
??Where once the mountainside teed with the undead, now not a single zombie remained. Li Hongyou’s eyes widened in awe.
??She glanced at Serene, murmuring, "She really is... sothing else."
??Before Bai Yu could respond, Li Hongyou wriggled out of her arms and shot into the sky.
??"Where are you going?" Bai Yu called after her, anxious.
??"I'm going to find the one who sent out that psychic wave. You stay here and wait for !" Li Hongyou shouted back, her voice fading as she soared away toward a distant ridge.
??——
??"Damn it! How could this happen?!"
??Far away, on a cliffside, Wang Ling raged inside a helicopter.
??He could hardly believe what he’d witnessed. His massive zombie horde—wiped out. Just like that.
??A single sword!
??In the blink of an eye!
??Tens of thousands of zombies, gone—reduced to dust in an instant!
??How... how was that even possible?!
??"Wang Ling! You useless fool!"
??An enraged voice crackled from his phone. "You failed! Looks like I’ll have to take care of this myself. When this is over, don’t think the organization will let you off easy!"
??The line went dead.
??Wang Ling’s fists clenched in frustration. He turned and barked at his subordinates:
??"Shut down the malice emitter. We're leaving!"
??"Yes, sir!"
??The helicopter’s rotors spun as it prepared to ascend and retreat.
??But then, a figure appeared above the craft, her voice chill as winter: "Trying to flee? In your dreams!"
??The instant Wang Ling saw Li Hongyou, despair washed over him.
??It’s over...
??It’s all over...
??Li Hongyou unleashed her telekinesis.
??With a simple gesture, Wang Ling was yanked bodily from the helicopter. Another flick of her hand, and the entire machine crumpled into a ball of twisted tal.
??"Hmph."
??Li Hongyou snorted, dragging Wang Ling back toward the base.
??——
??anwhile, Bai Xuan and Liu Qian stood in a room, eyes fixed on the far corner.
??At so point, a pitch-black rift had silently opened there.
??"What is that?" The Sli Mask on Bai Xuan’s face displayed twin question marks, his confusion clear.
??"A spatial rift," Liu Qian replied, arms folded. "Rumor has it the technology was reverse-engineered from an Arican spatial Anomaly, but it's unstable—extrely dangerous."
??She hadn’t finished speaking when a pair of hands thrust through the rift.
??A man in a "Cube-3" mask forced his way out, cursing, "Goddamn it! In the end, I have to do everything myself!"
??He turned to Liu Qian, his voice glacial. "Woman. Co with ."
??"Who is he?" Bai Xuan tilted his head, puzzled.
??"Cube-3. He’s wanted by the Investigation Bureau worldwide—Anomalous Threat Level D," Liu Qian explained, then turned to Bai Xuan with a playful smile. "Mr. Sli~ could you protect , pretty please? I really don’t want to end up as soone’s lab rat~ Please, please~"
??"......"
??Bai Xuan hesitated, then answered, "No."
??"Why not~?" Liu Qian blinked, genuinely confused.
??"I don’t really know you."
??In truth, Bai Xuan’s main reason was that he stood no chance against this man.
??A D-class Anomalous Disaster—even Serene might not be able to handle sothing like that.
??"Eh~ So heartless~" Liu Qian rolled her eyes, feigning disappointnt.
??Their easy banter, completely ignoring him, sent the man in the Cube-3 mask into a rage.
??"Hey! Can you two show
a little respect? I’m the main event here! You—"
??Before he could finish, four golden chains materialized out of thin air, snapping tight around his limbs.
??His face twisted in disbelief as he stared at Liu Qian.
??"You—you’re not Liu Qian—you’re—"
??"Ah!"
??A white bandage appeared, instantly wrapping him head to toe like a mummy.
??With a snap of Liu Qian’s fingers, the man vanished—teleported away as if he’d never existed.
??"Mmm~ Finally caught soone useful~" Liu Qian stretched languidly, rising on tiptoe with a satisfied sigh.
??Bai Xuan watched her, frowning.
??Just who is she?
??He was certain: in those few seconds, Liu Qian had displayed at least three different Anomalous Abilities.
??Even if she had technological assistance, being able to wield so many powers at once... she was anything but ordinary.
??She couldn’t possibly be just an ordinary constable.
??"Why are you staring at
like that~?"
??Noticing his gaze, Liu Qian turned, her smile bright and teasing.
??She reached out and tapped the Sli Mask on Bai Xuan’s face. "So you get to hide your identity, but I’m not allowed a little secret of my own?"
??"Are you an investigator?" Bai Xuan asked.
??"You could say that~" Liu Qian smiled faintly, her voice soft. "What about you? Ever thought about joining the Investigation Bureau?"
??Bai Xuan remained silent, the Sli Mask’s eyes narrowing to slits.
??"Guess that was a boring question~" Liu Qian shrugged lightly. "Your people are here—you should go."
??Bai Xuan turned to see Serene waiting at the door.
??At the sa ti, hurried footsteps echoed from the hallway.
??Bai Xuan activated the Teleportation Array.
??Just as he was about to leave, Liu Qian called after him, her voice lilting: "I hope we can be friends, not enemies, my adorable little brother~"
??"?
??Bai Xuan paused, thrown off.
??Little brother?
??So this fake Liu Qian must be older—at the very least, an auntie.
??He replied, "Goodbye."
??With that, Bai Xuan and Serene stepped into the Teleportation Array and vanished.
??——
??Not long after they left, Bai Yu burst into Liu Qian’s room.
??"Bai Yu! Are you all right?" Liu Qian rushed forward and hugged her tightly, her voice full of concern.
??"I’m fine." Bai Yu shook her head gently, then asked, "What about you? Are you hurt?"
??"I’m fine too."
??"That’s good."
??Just then, Huang Xin approached, saying, "Miss Li Hongyou has already brought back the mastermind. But we can’t relax yet—there may still be remnants hiding sowhere. We’ll need to stay a few more days to be sure it’s safe."
??"Okay~" Liu Qian replied with a smile, then turned to Bai Yu. "I saw everything from the room earlier—that female knight! She was incredible..."
